Fiddly and generally unnecessary. You are better off with 2 knives.
The off set is awkward. The folding is awkward and the sliding is awkward. Really just didn’t do it for me. Bulky and awkward to hold.
Suited for carpet fitters I think.

Not cheap but a great little knife, a bit fiddly to change the blade, handy to have a folder it will disappear into your pocket, leave unfolfed but retracted and its ready to use.

Recently purchased this cutter, came as a deal with two packs of blades which are very sharp and long lasting. It seems to be a safe knife to carry as it folds up whilst being carried on the job. Easy blade change. One handed use for opening. Seems well built but to early to test for durability.

Was a good purchase, I was very happy with the knife in the beginning, I have since bought another similar knife as it was failing to close properly still operated as a knife but wouldn’t close up properly because spring had come loose in the handle

Lightweight and small enough to store in a pocket. The folding action give you piece of mind that the blade won't slip out whilst in your pocket, the quick release blade change is great and a time saver when needed.

Bought one of these recently when my standard Stanley knife failed by not letting me extend the blade anymore. I use this every day, even at home, and it’s probably the best knife I’ve used.

Had one of these a while now and been fantastic. Blades seem to last a decent amount of time and the closing clasp part has never gone wrong. Easy to hold and easy to use. Well worth buying If you're after a sturdy knife that can fold up small.

Sturdy and solid design. Spare blades kept in hilt. Easy to store away in your tool belt or side pockets.

Only downside I’ve found is any dust and debris that is in your pouch/pockets can get clogged up within the opening mech.

I’ve had several “Stanley” knives and they worked but are not exactly compact. In my previous job, I worked in stores loading and unloading boxes and always using a knife to open boxes.

I got the Stanley fat max folding knife and it’s been a god send to use. Not only is the blade self retracting but it folds away nice too. It compact and great to use and I would recommend it.

Very good knife clearly designed for floor layers but good for any trades that regularly use a Stanley knife. One blade goes blunt rather than having to waste time changing blades just pull one blade down and push another blade up saving time then change the blades at a later time.
